2X3-MILE FARTLEK

Dave, Ben, and I met up at 21st to do our last "full" hard workout before STG. The plan was two sets of a 3-mile fartlek. I wanted to alternate pace each half mile between 5:30 and 5:00 (so 2:45 and 2:30).

1st Set: 2:47, 2:31, 2:48, 2:28, 2:46, 2:28 = 15:48

2nd Set: 2:43, 2:29, 2:46, 2:27, 2:45, 2:28 = 15:40

The workout felt pretty decent. The goal of the workout is to make MP effort feel easier. You try to trick your body into thinking MP isn't too bad and that in fact it can recover from a fast push at MP.

The countdown to STG is on! I'm super excited.

All that's left to do is check the weather forecast every 15 minutes for the next 10 days! :-)
